Immigration must be at an acceptable level

SINCE the French riots began, the media have been full of warnings on the possibility of such a situation happening here in Ireland in the future if we don’t “get it right.”

Commentator after commentator, editorial after editorial has talked of the need to integrate immigrants if we are to avoid this. Obviously, this is true.

It is, however, one of only two fronts to be addressed, but the media has been wilfully or idiotically blind to the second. That is the degree of immigration, which must be at a level society finds acceptable or deep resentment will result.
